    Yet another example of why proper security precautions should be taken by everyone. Cops tried to get in my phone and sim but gave up quite quickly. How many uses simlock pin for example?

    There are Foss menstrual tracking apps as well. People just need to actually know about them and take steps to change the habits of sharing everything with big tech/ad

      In the UK if they give you a RIPA section 49 notice they can compel you to give passwords. If you don’t comply it’s imprisonable up to 2 years.

          Yeah these are not excuses that fly with the british courts. You will still go to prison, and they might slap destruction of evidence or obstruction on top.

            Lol. Nah. Feel free to provide some info on that if you wish. Law can’t get what they don’t know I don’t know. If I would be in the position of facing that, I would just give them my duress password. Not even a fancy NSA computer and 1000 techies wouldn’t be able to prove that it was a duress password, let alone recover anything

              They can and will send you to prison if they ask you for the passwords to a machine and you claim to have forgotten it. This will be determined by a jury though and how they react to that is going to be different depending on whether we’re talking about a phone you use every day or a machine that’s been sitting in your garage for 10 years. Prosecution will use your behaviour throughout the rest of the interactions you’ve had with them as a significant part of painting you as lying and concealing the password.

              “RIPA section 49” is key phrase you need if you want to look into this.
